01 / Product brief
Direct Cr⁶⁺ Replacement with Zero Equipment Change
Chromium-free post-phosphate passivation sealer based on zirconium or organic sealant chemistry. Seals the phosphate crystal structure to achieve 120–200 hours salt spray performance without REACH or EU ELV restriction. Validated as a direct Cr⁶⁺ replacement for automotive pre-treatment lines.
Validated for direct Cr⁶⁺ replacement with zero equipment change — allows phosphating lines to achieve EU ELV compliance without capital investment in new rinse tanks or dosing systems. Zero Cr⁶⁺ in effluent immediately from switch date.
